Yes. I haven't seen him but I saw people making a group for him. My buddy also said he saw someone riding a mount that he described like the one from Oondasta, but it could have just been one from the warbringers.

People making groups for it dosn't mean it spawned tho I remember seeing daily galleon groups first few months and more than half the time he wasn't up.

Might've just been to explore - the island is full of raid-equivalent elites, its a bit of a hike to get to the spawn point, and there's no flying allowed.

I don't know. Several people said Oondasta had spawned, there was a raid being formed in /trade & /worldboss and some argument about the tapping system, and I didn't see a single person say "no, he's not up; you're trolling" like I used to see when people would pull those shenanigans with Galleon.

But I was leaving so I didn't participate, and I didn't think it was a controversial enough claim to research it to make sure they weren't lying. *shrug*

So, anyone actually ventured out to the Isle of Giants with an organized raid group and taken a crack at him?

The ample feedback about the conceptual design is noted. As some posters noted, one of the major flaws with Galleon (the "rare" boss) was that he was far too easy, such that the main challenge with him is being there when he spawns and getting the initial tap on him. Oondasta is challenging, and he's pretty far out of the way (as opposed to Galleon, who is mere seconds away from Halfhill), so we think he'll be active for longer periods of time before a group takes him down. And we'll be keeping a close eye on how things like faction tapping, potential griefing, and related issues play out, and making adjustments as are warranted.

But I'd love to hear some discussion about the actual boss fight from people who have done it. You can even be immortalized in Blue-trackers everywhere if you manage to kill him.
